"v i.i if' f t Why TR 'Hury?-7!akoimtipi pressures Jrom interested jgpdps lead to considerable emotional ism on many issues, thus re moving a;tcalm atmosphere con ducive to; wise action on legisla tion, As a consequence, it is not ' easy s to get issues of 'this character v in . true perspective.

One may legitimately ask why there is the .great rush. v Election Year r One reason pressures build up for action is that I960 is an election year, a so-called,, political year.

Con gress. - Having been before the Senate Committee for nearly two years,' the bill was reported in the :jniddle of last week. . The Senate Wag expected to complete action om this far-reaching legis. lation in only a day or two of debate.

Much bad legislation has been killed toy thorough debate under -unhurried circumstances.
